Good morning!
It's a strange morning.
My weigh-in is WAY off compared to yesterday, but I do know where the culprits are. It's not a bad weigh-in, just one that is very unusual.
You see, according to my scale I am up 3% body fat and down 5 lbs of muscle and water since yesterday(!). That is WILD.
I did good yesterday. Well, almost. I went over by 200 calories, but I am nowhere near my calorie burn for the day. Fitbit suggests that I burned 3600 calories - it was a busy day working at the gym, along with a long morning walk and an afternoon walk - and I consumed 2200 calories. It's all good. If anything, I think it's a good thing that I upped the intake by a little.
I COMPLETELY indulged in sugar/fat free ice cream. Like crazy. Actually, I had a WHOLE LITER. It was good too, and cost me something like 400 calories. I am 100% okay with that.
This probably made my numbers freak out. It's very off my usual patterns and I am sure that my body is reacting to it.
(TMI warning!)
The other reason is that I have not gone #2 for a couple of days. I feel okay, it's simply fact. This obviously weighs me down, and I see that "my numbers" on my scale can react to this. This probably goes together with me having relatively small(ish) meals the last few days, not counting yesterday.
Yesterday, I also had a LARGE portion of Wife's beef soup for dinner - again something that weighs me down without it being heavy on calories.
I'm having more of this wonderful dish for lunch today, and I am REALLY looking forward to it.
I am 100% sure that I will see a nice, large drop in weight tomorrow or later this week. I'm in no rush like that, but of course I'd like to see it happening soon all the same.
The coundown is still on for surgery. We are now talking 4 weeks and two days until I go to the hospital. One extra day until surgery.
I feel that I am already at the right place for it. I don't feel that the extra 4 kilos that I essentially weigh too much today is in any way a restriction. I am consistently building mass, and I know that I will be at a kilo or two less within this week. I'm sure of it. All I gotta do is to do relatively good. That's it.
...
It was raining this morning, so I did not get go on my walk. I'm gonna have to get my 10,000 steps in over the course of the day. I know I can easily get there, just by doing what I usually do - and maybe put just a wee bit extra effort into getting more steps in. Do a few more rounds in the work building, walk a little at lunch, etc. It's no biggie.
It's almost 9:00 AM and I'm already past the 6,000 step mark. I know it will be around 2,000 steps to walk to the gym to teach tonight, and then walk home afterwards, so I just need another 2,000 in there through the day. No problem. I'll have that done before noon, without even trying much.
...
It's gonna be FUN at the gym tonight. I have 6(!) new clients starting up, all in the same class. It's gonna be a blast, and I can't wait. :)
...
Today, I'm thankful for:
- Getting my gym on this morning. I feel GREAT afterwards!
- Wife!
- Morning Coffee!
- A good night's sleep!
- New clients!
Life is good!
